Programa de TV: Over There - 1x8
Previously on Over There.
Are you okay, Mrs.
B?
Yeah.
You all think you got grabbed by some maniac, you'd done better than me, is that it?
Private Mitchell?
Goddamn!
That was fast!
Bad news is your son's got an illness.
The army will fly you home to see him.
You wanna go?
Absolutely, Sir.
Bartender, drink's on the house!
Mrs.
Frank Dumphy, you have to come with us, Ma'am.
I'm the base drug counsellor.
You're a crack head?
I was 7 years ago.
I've been sober ever since.
Go to hell, crack boy!
And leave us regular people alone!
Hi, sweetheart.
It's me again.
I'm sorry to leave so many messages, I just...
I really wanna hear your voice.
I just think he misses his mom.
No, I don't wanna make you feel...
No, don't go.
I've been looking forward to this.
You're even gone see your boy?
I'm going right now.
I need the documents, Wade.
I've got everything you asked for.
Driver's licence.
Social security.
Hell...
I even threw in a library card.
For a 100-pound blond female...
You're going somewhere?
How come we got to guard these pipeline dudes, man?
I mean guarding these dudes is like guarding goddamn Suge Knight.
It's like painting goddamn bull�s-eye on your ass.
I mean these dudes get blown up all the time.
That's why we have to go out there.
Don't they have their own security forces?
Yeah, they're making like 30 grand a month.
They're making what?
30 grand a month.
Where did you hear that?
From my friend who was a range in Desertstorm.
Got offered him to come back here as a member of a private security force.
You're serious?
And not only that, but they offered him 1 month off every 2 months.
Jesus!
That's like 20 times what we make for doing the same thing.
Only with adequately armored trucks instead of these...
pieces of shit.
Did he take the job?
No!
Why not?
He's rich?
No, he's just...
he's sane, man.
Here you go.
Hey, cool it, Dim.
Alright let's get on with the introductions.
Tell him we're here to protect him while the pipelines are being constructed.
Tell him the valley may be the target of insurgents� activity because of the presence of the American workers.
Tell him we'll be digging in right over there.
Tell him we'll do everything we can to stay out of their way.
Tell him we're earthlings.
Tell him we come in peace.
www.sub-way.fr You in charge?
He's the Imam.
The what?
It's the spiritual leader of the community.
Priest?
Yeah, sort of.
Well, I need the Mayor.
He's sort of the Mayor too.
Is he the Mayor or is he not the Mayor?
Sergeant.
Can I just tell this guy to stick it up his ass or do I have to explain the idea of cultural differences to him?
You have to translate, that's all.
Sergeant, I can report your man for insubordination.
There's Captain Baron.
He's in charge of flattering.
Am I talking to the right guy?
That's all I need to know.
Yeah.
We're putting our oil pipelines through your little valley here.
We want you to know that if you have any security concerns, the soldiers here will protect you.
But we'll only be here as long as the workmen are here, understand?
When they move on, we move on.
Captain, you're not helping.
Sorry, just trying to be honest.
Is that a problem?
I'm just trying to do my job, Captain.
So am I, Mr.
Parker.
I can have transcripts of these conversations sent through your satellite to our company's headquarters in Dubai.
I love Dubai.
If you don't want the pipeline run through your valley, Sir, now is the time to register your objection.
They don't want the pipeline run through the valley, Sir.
They've been safe so far in spite of the war.
They feel that if the pipeline comes, that's gonna change.
Wherever the pipeline goes, someone blows someone up.
Looks like you have a PR problem on your hand, doesn't it?
I'm an engineer, not a PR guy.
PR guy quit.
Good luck!
You tell him we're putting the oil pipeline here in his valley no matter what he says.
You tell him we'll build his village 1 building.
1 building.
Tell him to think about what kind of building he wants.
Medical center, school, whatever he wants, 1 building.
I need to know what it's gonna be by tomorrow morning.
That Imam is a mean old bird, huh?
Yeah.
What do you think he's gonna ask for?
You mean what kind of building?
Yeah.
He's a very traditional guy.
He's very religious.
Think he'll want a church?
Little man, you have no idea how close you just came.
Thank you, Angel.
Tell him to get his butt home.
It's Just like his old man...
...Not!
Ho do you get to Hollywood?
Hollywood...
the city of dreams!
It doesn't exist, died a long time ago.
Ain't nothing left but the junkies.
Can you tell me how to get to Hollywood?
You take the big blue bus.
It says "big blue bus" right there on the side.
Mrs.?
Yeah.
You're checking in?
I'm just looking at these pamphlets.
You can check in and take all the pamphlets you want to your room.
Really?
Yeah, you can have one of each in fact.
I'll put them all together for you.
Thanks a lot.
Any time.
How far is Sea World anyways?
Oh, that's San Diego.
It's a ways.
What do you recommend I do around here?
Are you on a budget?
Oh, yeah.
Then I recommend this map of the stars' home.
It's only 3 bucks and some of these homes are just a walk from here.
Will you be paying with a credit card?
No.
I hope you have a picture ID.
The cops don't like it if I check people on without a picture ID.
I have picture ID.
Good.
Norma Jean Baker.
You're kidding, right?
It's a stage name.
No shit!
Your mom's a whore!
She gives good head!
Her legs are spread!
Shut up!
Jesus Christ, Eddie!
Goddamn it!
Get the hell into room 15 and wait there for me!
Now!
Somebody call 911 now!
Mrs.
Dumphy, 95% of the boys in this school have fathers in Iraq.
It's his stepfather.
And each and every one of them are under the same kind of pressure.
How could you possibly know that?
Yet Eddy is the one constantly getting into fights.
Constantly?
This is the 3rd time we've met, Mrs.
Dumphy.
And this time he hurt somebody.
I understood that the other ran into a pole.
He was pushed into a pole.
Well, Eddy may have pushed him but he didn't put the pole there.
The boy went to the hospital.
He was a bully and a prick.
I'm suspending Eddy for 5 days pending an enquiry by the board at which time he may be expelled.
This is a very serious matter, Mrs.
Dumphy.
The only reason the other boy's mother isn't pressing charges is because of your situation.
My situation?
I took the liberty of explaining to her that you lost a baby and...
And what?
You have to think about where else you can place Eddy.
Place him?
He is not a job applicant.
He is my son.
Where else you can send him to school.
This is his school !
You're shouting, Mrs.
Dumphy.
You're an asshole, Mr.
Howard.
In 5 minutes, I won't be shouting but you'll still be an asshole.
Hey!
Hi!
You're going out?
Yeah.
Question is where.
I mean where can you eat around here cheap?
You don't have to worry about that.
Around here, everything's cheap.
I'll buy you dinner.
No, thank you.
Come on, a beautiful girl like you shouldn't have to eat alone.
I like to eat alone.
Ever heard of Espago?
I'll take you there.
It's famous.
All the movie stars eat there.
I hate movie stars.
Nobody hates movie stars.
Not in this country.
I'll make you a deal.
First, I'll buy you an outfit.
I get Versacce for next to nothing.
Then I take you to Espago.
No strings attached.
You must think I just fell of the turnip truck.
I like turnips.
Yeah?
You think you could fit one up your ass?
I think I killed a cousin of yours last week in Iraq.
I'm Belgian.
I'll kill you too if you like.
Raise your hand to me again and I'll know you wanna die.
You're making a big mistake.
I make a lot of them.
Cops!
I'll see you around.
You can count on that.
Nice to meet you too.
There weren't really any cops.
Thank you.
You should go though, he's...
You dissed him bad.
I'll be alright.
Kentucky?
West Virginia.
But the West side of the state though, right?
West of Charleston?
I'm a hundred miles off, I'll kiss your ass on a window.
There'll be no need for that.
I knew that.
Sissi.
Norma Jean.
Norma Jean?
Jesus!
It's a hell of a name, ain't it?
Let's get out of here, Norma Jean.
Okay.
Here's the protocol: we have a town meeting.
The town decides what kind of building it wants, we build it, we get back to civilization.
The sooner we're done, the sooner your job's done.
Do you mean to use the word protocol the way they use in medicine, Mr.
Parker?
When they treat disease?
That's right, Captain.
That's exactly the way I meant to use it.
Thing is, I don't think these people think they're sick.
He says : "This meeting is a waste of the villagers� time."
He says : "These people are farmers."
"They don't have daylight hours to devote to anything but work and prayer."
Tell him it's a waste of my time too but here we are all the same.
Private!
You're sure you want me to say that?
Just translate, okay?
Okay.
I'm supposed to have a company translator but like a fool he got himself killed.
You want me to translate that?
No.
Just tell him with all due respect, we're here and we're going on with the meeting.
We want a mosque.
What a surprise!
Are there any other suggestions?
Nobody's got any other ideas at all, huh?
Maybe a larger barn or a health center...
God forbid a school!
What's the problem now, private?
Well, if I say "God forbid", we might have problems going through the rest of this meeting.
Leave it out.
You want a school?
Is nobody gonna speak for the village?
I speak for the village.
Yeah, maybe you do, maybe you don't.
We'll see about that.
Miss.
Miss Miss.
You want us to build you a school?
We need a school.
We only have this barn in which we teach our children.
What did he say?
He didn't know they teach them anything but the Coran.
We teach them to read.
We teach them maths and science.
I think we made progress today.
Hell, I've been done every which way by guys.
You're talking to a pro, sweaty.
Sorry.
I've been done inside and out.
I just meant I've been used.
Me too.
No, I mean...
Hell with it...
Me three.
If I keep thinking about that, I'm gonna stop having a good time.
You are having a good time, aren't you?
Yeah.
Been a while, ain't it?
Yeah.
Man, I am dirtier than a bird dog.
I'm gonna take me a shower.
Wow, girl!
Hey, boys!
How goes it?
16.
17.
You got a letter.
Yeah?
It's from Dim in Iraq.
There's this famous documentary about the Spanish Civil War where this guy is dying.
And they don't help him, they just watch him die.
Who does?
Documentary filmmakers.
Which were who?
I don't know.
Man, everybody says things are famous when they're the only ones who've ever heard of it.
It is famous.
Whenever people talk about whether or not to help in these kind of situations, that movie comes up.
Have you ever seen Chinatown?
Of course.
In Chinatown, Jack knows you don't know what's going on.
I mean you think you do but you don't.
So?
So then he forgets.
He tries to fix everything and instead he screws everything up.
And that's famous.
Thank you, Angel.
Thank you, Angel.
I don't wanna hear it, alright?
I know I'm an idiot but I don't wanna hear it.
You don't even wanna know what the father said?
No!
Definitely not!
Oh shit!
This is bad duty, Dim.
I know.
This company guy's a fool.
That's right.
'Cause he doesn't understand these backward villagers but he still thinks he can help them.
Remind you of anybody?
Yeah.
Let's at least not make it any worse than it is, okay?
Mommy?
Mommy?
Mommy, you're alright?
What happened?
I can't get drunk anymore.
I've been drinking all day and I can still list every single things gone wrong.
Oh sweaty...
Here we go.
Right over here.
Hang on Vanessa.
Right here.
Okay.
I gotta go.
This is a woman's meeting.
Hey!
You're gonna be alright.
Someone's gonna give you a ride home in about an hour.
I'm gonna stay with Eddy until you get back.
Okay?
Boy!
She's in the right place.
Welcome to the Sober Goddess meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
My name is Claire and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Claire!
Are there any other alcoholics in the room?
If I call some of these references, they're gonna check out?
Sure.
Yeah.
Some...
Some might be old numbers, but yeah.
Give me a minute, will you?
Get out!
Get out!
For Christ's sake, I can't leave you alone for 30 seconds without you stealing from me!
Jesus Christ!
Get out!
You're done?
Another?
I can't pay you.
Come again.
I can't pay for the burger and the beer.
I'm starving and I don't have any money.
Lady, what are you doing to me?
I'm private Brenda Mitchell, US Army.
3rd Infantry Division, Motor Transport.
I'm here on leave and I got robbed.
Don't ask me how.
I'm stationed in Daglesh, Iraq.
And I'm going back just as soon as I can.
I'll send you the money when I get there.
I already have your address, just tell me your name.
Or I can call the cops.
Or you can call the cops.
Hell with it!
I can buy a soldier a meal.
Don't get killed, alright?
You want pie?
It's pretty good.
Thank you.
Can you help me?
It's a general rule, I don't give money to panhandlers.
I'm not a panhandler.
Then you have to rethink your look.
Staff Sergeant, I need your help.
Alright, you're not a panhandler and you read rank.
Shit!
Yeah, I'm AWOL.
52nd Motor Transport Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division.
So you're determined to dump this particular pile of warm steaming shit at my door...
I've gotta find someone to help me.
I'm not even a soldier, you know that.
I'm a Marine.
I'm begging you.
There's a guy who runs here.
He has a false limp.
False limp, huh?
It's a little old-fashioned, ain't it?
Who taught you to call it that?
My grandfather.
He has a false limp.
Sorry.
Why?
It's not your fault.
Some Vietcong did it.
Who's the guy?
My grandfather?
The guy who runs.
With the false limp.
I don't know but he's here everyday.
Man!
He can run!
Oh yeah?
I've seen him once running on my way to the mall, he was still running when I came back.
How long was that?
Gosh!
Two hours at least.
At what time of day does he run?
All times.
It's been hot lately, I think I see him in the evenings a lot.
Like 6?
Like...
8.
Thanks.
Thanks a whole lot.
For what?
For not laughing at me.
Nothing to laugh at soldier.
Your grandfather army?
Your dad too?
He was.
He died in Iraq.
Sorry.
Why?
It's not your fault.
No, I know.
I know that.
People say they're sorry like that, it's just...
They're sorry things went the way they went, okay?
It don't mean they personally did anything.
What?
You have kids.
You can tell, huh?
People who have kids, they right away think they can explain everything when half the time, they don't know why things went the way they went any better than anybody else.
Alright, we're here tonight to decide whether you want us to build the mosque that the Imam wants or the school that his wife and the other women of the village want.
I think the Imam should speak on behalf of the mosque and his wife should speak on behalf of the school and...
then we're gonna put it to a vote.
Mister...
Imam?
He says : "The company will build us a mosque".
He says : "It's God's will".
All Right.
Mrs...
Will the Imam's wife speak now?
What are they saying?
They disagree about whether or not she can speak.
You tell them now that democracy has come, she has the right to speak.
Tell them I personally guarantee her right to speak.
She says : "If you teach us only fear," "if you teach us only hatred," "if you teach us only that modern world conspires against us," "if you teach us only that we are in battle and alone," "then we'll always be angry" "and we'll always be ignorant."
"We need a school where we can teach our children hope."
He says repent and she says no.
What's he saying?
He says: "She's the infidel."
"She's unfaithful to what we believe."
She says : "You don't know what we believe."
"She smiled at the American."
"She touched him in public."
He says he'll prove she's the infidel.
Say for the village what the infidel taught you to say.
Thank you, Angel.
Shit!
Say it again.
Thank you, Angel.
He says : "The infidel walks amongst us."
She says : "It's hatred that walks amongst us."
He says : "She's a whore!
We gotta do something!"
You said you'd protect her, now is the time.
You wanted to take over?
Take over!
Now!
Goddamn it!
Angel, stop this!
Yes, Sir.
You want to give these people a lasting gift?
Get the hell out of their live, you dumb asshole!
Captain!
Yes.
Get that maniac off me!
He appears to be searching you, Mr.
Parker.
Yeah?
What the hell for?
Weapons of mass destruction.
He's clean, Sir.
Good work, Sergeant.
I'll let know my bosses we're pulling out of this valley.
It was always a close call between this valley and the next one anyway.
And these people are crazy.
You just signed that woman's death warrant.
I did nothing of the kind.
The second we leave, she's dead.
I'll be on the phone with the general in 5 minutes.
We're pulling out tonight, you're coming with us.

I knew that.
Sissi.
Norma Jean.
Norma Jean?
Jesus!
It's a hell of a name, ain't it?
Let's get out of here, Norma Jean.
Okay.
Here's the protocol: we have a town meeting.
The town decides what kind of building it wants, we build it, we get back to civilization.
The sooner we're done, the sooner your job's done.
Do you mean to use the word protocol the way they use in medicine, Mr.
Parker?
When they treat disease?
That's right, Captain.
That's exactly the way I meant to use it.
Thing is, I don't think these people think they're sick.
He says : "This meeting is a waste of the villagers� time."
He says : "These people are farmers."
"They don't have daylight hours to devote to anything but work and prayer."
Tell him it's a waste of my time too but here we are all the same.
Private!
You're sure you want me to say that?
Just translate, okay?
Okay.
I'm supposed to have a company translator but like a fool he got himself killed.
You want me to translate that?
No.
Just tell him with all due respect, we're here and we're going on with the meeting.
We want a mosque.
What a surprise!
Are there any other suggestions?
Nobody's got any other ideas at all, huh?
Maybe a larger barn or a health center...
God forbid a school!
What's the problem now, private?
Well, if I say "God forbid", we might have problems going through the rest of this meeting.
Leave it out.
You want a school?
Is nobody gonna speak for the village?
I speak for the village.
Yeah, maybe you do, maybe you don't.
We'll see about that.
Miss.
Miss Miss.
You want us to build you a school?
We need a school.
We only have this barn in which we teach our children.
What did he say?
He didn't know they teach them anything but the Coran.
We teach them to read.
We teach them maths and science.
I think we made progress today.
Hell, I've been done every which way by guys.
You're talking to a pro, sweaty.
Sorry.
I've been done inside and out.
I just meant I've been used.
Me too.
No, I mean...
Hell with it...
Me three.
If I keep thinking about that, I'm gonna stop having a good time.
You are having a good time, aren't you?
Yeah.
Been a while, ain't it?
Yeah.
Man, I am dirtier than a bird dog.
I'm gonna take me a shower.
Wow, girl!
Hey, boys!
How goes it?
16.
17.
You got a letter.
Yeah?
It's from Dim in Iraq.
There's this famous documentary about the Spanish Civil War where this guy is dying.
And they don't help him, they just watch him die.
Who does?
Documentary filmmakers.
Which were who?
I don't know.
Man, everybody says things are famous when they're the only ones who've ever heard of it.
It is famous.
Whenever people talk about whether or not to help in these kind of situations, that movie comes up.
Have you ever seen Chinatown?
Of course.
In Chinatown, Jack knows you don't know what's going on.
I mean you think you do but you don't.
So?
So then he forgets.
He tries to fix everything and instead he screws everything up.
And that's famous.
Thank you, Angel.
Thank you, Angel.
I don't wanna hear it, alright?
I know I'm an idiot but I don't wanna hear it.
You don't even wanna know what the father said?
No!
Definitely not!
Oh shit!
This is bad duty, Dim.
I know.
This company guy's a fool.
That's right.
'Cause he doesn't understand these backward villagers but he still thinks he can help them.
Remind you of anybody?
Yeah.
Let's at least not make it any worse than it is, okay?
Mommy?
Mommy?
Mommy, you're alright?
What happened?
I can't get drunk anymore.
I've been drinking all day and I can still list every single things gone wrong.
Oh sweaty...
Here we go.
Right over here.
Hang on Vanessa.
Right here.
Okay.
I gotta go.
This is a woman's meeting.
Hey!
You're gonna be alright.
Someone's gonna give you a ride home in about an hour.
I'm gonna stay with Eddy until you get back.
Okay?
Boy!
She's in the right place.
Welcome to the Sober Goddess meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
My name is Claire and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Claire!
Are there any other alcoholics in the room?
If I call some of these references, they're gonna check out?
Sure.
Yeah.
Some...
Some might be old numbers, but yeah.
Give me a minute, will you?
Get out!
Get out!
For Christ's sake, I can't leave you alone for 30 seconds without you stealing from me!
Jesus Christ!
Get out!
You're done?
Another?
I can't pay you.
Come again.
I can't pay for the burger and the beer.
I'm starving and I don't have any money.
Lady, what are you doing to me?
I'm private Brenda Mitchell, US Army.
3rd Infantry Division, Motor Transport.
I'm here on leave and I got robbed.
Don't ask me how.
I'm stationed in Daglesh, Iraq.
And I'm going back just as soon as I can.
I'll send you the money when I get there.
I already have your address, just tell me your name.
Or I can call the cops.
Or you can call the cops.
Hell with it!
I can buy a soldier a meal.
Don't get killed, alright?
You want pie?
It's pretty good.
Thank you.
Can you help me?
It's a general rule, I don't give money to panhandlers.
I'm not a panhandler.
Then you have to rethink your look.
Staff Sergeant, I need your help.
Alright, you're not a panhandler and you read rank.
Shit!
Yeah, I'm AWOL.
52nd Motor Transport Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division.
So you're determined to dump this particular pile of warm steaming shit at my door...
I've gotta find someone to help me.
I'm not even a soldier, you know that.
I'm a Marine.
I'm begging you.
There's a guy who runs here.
He has a false limp.
False limp, huh?
It's a little old-fashioned, ain't it?
Who taught you to call it that?
My grandfather.
He has a false limp.
Sorry.
Why?
It's not your fault.
Some Vietcong did it.
Who's the guy?
My grandfather?
The guy who runs.
With the false limp.
I don't know but he's here everyday.
Man!
He can run!
Oh yeah?
I've seen him once running on my way to the mall, he was still running when I came back.
How long was that?
Gosh!
Two hours at least.
At what time of day does he run?
All times.
It's been hot lately, I think I see him in the evenings a lot.
Like 6?
Like...
8.
Thanks.
Thanks a whole lot.
For what?
For not laughing at me.
Nothing to laugh at soldier.
Your grandfather army?
Your dad too?
He was.
He died in Iraq.
Sorry.
Why?
It's not your fault.
No, I know.
I know that.
People say they're sorry like that, it's just...
They're sorry things went the way they went, okay?
It don't mean they personally did anything.
What?
You have kids.
You can tell, huh?
People who have kids, they right away think they can explain everything when half the time, they don't know why things went the way they went any better than anybody else.
Alright, we're here tonight to decide whether you want us to build the mosque that the Imam wants or the school that his wife and the other women of the village want.
I think the Imam should speak on behalf of the mosque and his wife should speak on behalf of the school and...
then we're gonna put it to a vote.
Mister...
Imam?
He says : "The company will build us a mosque".
He says : "It's God's will".
All Right.
Mrs...
Will the Imam's wife speak now?
What are they saying?
They disagree about whether or not she can speak.
You tell them now that democracy has come, she has the right to speak.
Tell them I personally guarantee her right to speak.
She says : "If you teach us only fear," "if you teach us only hatred," "if you teach us only that modern world conspires against us," "if you teach us only that we are in battle and alone," "then we'll always be angry" "and we'll always be ignorant."
"We need a school where we can teach our children hope."
He says repent and she says no.
What's he saying?
He says: "She's the infidel."
"She's unfaithful to what we believe."
She says : "You don't know what we believe."
"She smiled at the American."
"She touched him in public."
He says he'll prove she's the infidel.
Say for the village what the infidel taught you to say.
Thank you, Angel.
Shit!
Say it again.
Thank you, Angel.
He says : "The infidel walks amongst us."
She says : "It's hatred that walks amongst us."
He says : "She's a whore!
We gotta do something!"
You said you'd protect her, now is the time.
You wanted to take over?
Take over!
Now!
Goddamn it!
Angel, stop this!
Yes, Sir.
You want to give these people a lasting gift?
Get the hell out of their live, you dumb asshole!
Captain!
Yes.
Get that maniac off me!
He appears to be searching you, Mr.
Parker.
Yeah?
What the hell for?
Weapons of mass destruction.
He's clean, Sir.
Good work, Sergeant.
I'll let know my bosses we're pulling out of this valley.
It was always a close call between this valley and the next one anyway.
And these people are crazy.
You just signed that woman's death warrant.
I did nothing of the kind.
The second we leave, she's dead.
I'll be on the phone with the general in 5 minutes.
We're pulling out tonight, you're coming with us.
